5大最佳动画工作室：第一名是……(5)

继1984年电影《风之谷》大获成功后，宫崎骏于1985年6月15日与制片人铃木敏夫、导演高畑勋共同创立了吉卜力工作室，后者随后执导了《萤火虫之墓》。许多公司都是如商务运作般制作动画，但吉卜力工作室始终像朋友之间的热情协作。日本历史上票房最高的15部著名动画电影中，有8部由他们团队创作发行，其中包括《龙猫》《幽灵公主》《千与千寻》《辉夜姬物语》及《记忆中的玛妮》。宫崎骏在美国拥有众多粉丝，他不仅是他那一代最优秀的动画导演，甚至可能是迄今为止最伟大的动画导演。

2. Walt Disney Animation Studios
第二名 华特迪士尼动画工作室
Disney is a name that has become synonymous with so many words over time that it’s hard to keep count. It’s an umbrella of imagination and adventure that covers every facet of entertainment. It’s through timeless classics that the studio first made its mark and we’re forever indebted to them for giving us so many childhood memories to cherish for a lifetime.
随着时间推移，迪士尼这个名字已成为无数词语的代名词，它是一把由想象力和冒险精神织成的伞盖，涵盖了娱乐界的方方面面。正是这些永恒的经典作品让迪士尼崭露头角。我们永远感谢这些作品，为我们提供了如此多的童年回忆，值得珍藏一生。
Founded in 1923 by Walt Disney and his older brother Roy, the two siblings began producing silent short cartoons in their small studio in Los Angeles. It was the introduction of none other than Mickey Mouse which kickstarted the company’s career. Mickey would of course go on to become the face of the business, but it was the 1937 feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs which brought renowned attention to everyone on board. Since then, the company has released upwards of sixty different full-length features, each one a testament to the remarkable strength in quality Disney holds for itself. With classics like Pinnochio, Bambi, The Lion King, The Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid to name a few, along with more recent examples like Tangled, The Princess and the Frog and Frozen, we’re not in the minority in saying that Walt Disney leads by example.
